For me this song is about living life to its fullest. It talks about a couple, older than the singer and admired by the singer and all in his age group. "When they were young kids they were unattainable circles around the sun". They could do no wrong, they were the ideals of a couple in love who would go on forever. But nothing could live up what they thought was perfection. Eventually they had problems and later pass on and the singer wants to hold on to them, he wants to hold on to the memory of the perfection that is no more...their lost youth. Seeing what happened to their older idols, makes the singer face his own mortality. He wants to hold on to the memories when they were like gods and could do no wrong. So the old couple now goes to another place "another land beneath another sky". Still the singer is not wanting to accept they are gone. Holding on to youth, holding on to the memories, realizing the inevitable, that his fate is the same as time goes by. But as with many great songs, it will mean something different to different listeners! |
